Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 5.1 Sample Spaces and Probability
This section explores how to determine the sample space, or possible outcomes, for an event such as rolling dice. It also investigates how to determine the probability of different outcomes occurring for an activity such as flipping a...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Theoretical and Experimental Probability: Coin Flips and Die Rolls
A set of questions on experimental and theoretical probabilities using coins and dice. Answers are accompanied by explanations.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Simple Probability
Practice finding probabilities of events, such as rolling dice, drawing marbles out of a bag, and spinning spinners. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Probability Simulations App
This App allows students to explore probability theory with interactive animation that simulates rolling dice, tossing coins, and generating random numbers. They use evaluation options such as bar graphs and table of trials data....
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Probability
Students examine predictable outcomes of events such as flipping a coin or rolling a dice. They see that these events repeated many times form a pattern of distribution. They explore the probability concepts of most likely and least likely.

Nctm: Figure This: Are Dice Fair or Not?
Is it fair or not fair? That is the question. Try this math challenge where you use your probability and number sense skills to determine whether or not a game is fair. Find out how mastering this challenge can be useful in real life...

Ted: Ted Ed: The Last Banana: A Thought Experiment in Probability
Imagine a game played with two players and two dice: if the biggest number rolled is one, two, three, or four, player 1 wins. If the biggest number rolled is five or six, player 2 wins. Who has the best probability of winning the game?...
Mathigon
Mathigon: Probability and Discrete Math: Predicting the Future
This lesson focuses on probability theory for predicting the outcome of flipping a coin, and then flipping it multiple times.
California State University
Cal State San Bernardino: Intro to Probability Models
The concept of random variables comes to life with this Applet used to roll one, two, six, or nine dice. The user selects the number of rolls to be completed, and the program quickly counts and graphs the results.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 7.sp.8 Tetrahedral Dice
Many games use dice which are six-sided and fair (meaning each face on the die is equally likely to land face up). Many games also use the sum of two dice rolled at the same time to determine movement of game pieces. However, not all...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Getting Started With Probability Simulations App
Explore probability theory with interactive animation that simulates the rolling of dice, tossing of coins and generating random numbers. Evaluation options include bar graphs, table of trials data, settings for specifying the number of...

Nces: Kids' Zone: Chances
Dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls affects an outcome.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Hey, That's Not Fair! (Or Is It?)
In this activity, students can use the calculator to simulate the dice rolls to play two different games. They will decide if the games give each player an equally likely chance of winning. They also compute the probability of an event...
